It does feel a lot different, but near the limits it is much more predictable. I would definitely leave it as it is

Here's how I locked it and have had no problems with it since, and this includes a lot of track work.

I assume you fit a lock bar? If so I believe the only thing left to do is get a wheel alignment and all should be good

got a wheel alignment already mabye they set it up dodgey steering feels weird really. mabye i should give it a week and c how i go went 4 a cruze today and it just didnt feel right. do you have a lock bar any feed back on it?

I'm really looking into getting a hicas lock bar aswell, i'm just having trouble finding decent information about how differnt it is to the hicas unit in your car and how exactly it will effect your car. Can anyone clarify this cos i'm getting more and more confused reading everyone's posts about Hicas.

Did you put a lock bar on it? Or just leave it all hanging there? I haven't looked into this yet as I don't mind my HICAS but if you remove the relevant parts don't the wheels need to be locked in place?

Who is using your computer Abo Bob? Was that a joke?

I've had mine replaced, it one of the very good value mods I've done. Makes the car much better to drive. Check the installation and the wheel allignment specs.

Really? How did it effect your car? Did it just change the way the car handled in general...?

When u are at the track is when u notice its better , my car use to feel nervous at speed now it feels solid.

If u started to slide the car into the corner u would feel a little movement in the ass than instead of heading for the apex the car would understeer and start head for the outside of the corner u would have to grab it then u could get bad oversteer , now i can cut a nice smooth arc through the corner with just a nice little bit of oversteer.

He has some stuff going on personally so he's not making them at the moment.. If you're after a 32 bar maybe ask him in case he's got some left.

He's actually manufacturing them out of his own time, and he said that he wont be making more until a bit later in the year!

One other product that people have mentioned is the Tomei kit: http://www.nengun.com/tomei/hicas-lock

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
